Chapter 481 Old acquaintance

After the costumed woman disappeared, the blonde looked at Elder Mapu and said, "We, the Hell Creek Family, have never had any contact with this Zheng Yuanqiang. What do you think he meant by this?"

“I don’t know…” Elder Mapu shook his head. “But this woman is not simple. The moment I released my aura just now, she took a step back at the right time. She was right on the edge of my killing intent. If she took a step forward, I would have locked her down. If she took a step back, she would have lost her aura… Let’s not talk about her strength for now. Her keen judgment is not simple.”

"Perhaps the Insightists?" asked the tall man.

"This is based on the premise that she is from the Insight Faction." Elder Map snorted coldly, "If she is from another faction, she is stronger than I thought!"

"Shall we keep the appointment?" The man looked at the invitation in Elder Mapu's hand.

"Go! Why not?" Elder Mapu sneered, "To be able to maintain a black market of that scale in a place like Ningdong, this Zheng Yuanqiang is definitely not simple. We are now restricted by the Yuan Xiu Society here for more than a week, and we have not gained anything. This wild peak may be a breakthrough..."

As he said that, he looked at the invitation in his hand and said, "It's the evening of the 15th, there are only a few days left, it won't hurt to go and take a look then."

…………

At the same time, Luo Jun had sneaked back to the city, but he did not return to the college. Instead, he went to the house he rented for Ailontan.

After all, Elontan is playing him in the academy now. If he goes back rashly, it would be difficult to explain if he is caught. It would be safer to move back to his house in the city center first. Tomorrow is the weekend anyway, so he can wait for Elontan to replace him.

I walked into the residential complex, walked upstairs and arrived at the door. Just as I was taking out my key to open the door, I heard the sound of a door opening downstairs. Then I heard the sound of the evening news and the friction of plastic bags coming from inside the house. It seemed that the residents downstairs were putting out garbage...

Luo Jun didn't care. He shook out the key and inserted it into the keyhole. The clattering sound attracted the attention of the people downstairs.

"Hey? Xiao Liu is back!" A slightly excited voice came from downstairs, and then a middle-aged woman ran upstairs. When she saw Luo Jun, she was stunned: "Hey? You are not Xiao Liu?"

Luo Jun was also a little surprised. Looking at the aunt's surprised eyes, he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, you are Aunt Li, right? My cousin always mentioned you to me."

"You...are Xiao Liu's cousin?" Aunt Li looked at Luo Jun and said, "I haven't seen you before?"

"I'm a student and I usually live in school. I came to stay with my cousin this weekend." Luo Jun said with a grin, "What do you want from your cousin?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious..." Aunt Li smiled and said, "Your brother has been away these days?"

"Oh, he went back to his hometown in Shuncheng." Luo Jun said casually, "Something happened at home, so he should be back tomorrow. Is there anything I can tell him?"

Aunt Li nodded: "Oh, just say that I mentioned it to him before, and now that my daughter is back, he understands it."

"Don't worry, Aunt Li." Luo Jun said with a smile, "I will definitely pass on the news. I also hope to attend my cousin's wedding as soon as possible."

When Aunt Li heard this, she seemed a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "You brothers have such a good relationship. Xiao Liu told you everything..." After that, she went downstairs and went home.

As for Luo Jun, he opened the door and entered the room, already calling out to Ailontan in his heart.

"What do you want from me, great master?"

"I'm fine, your mother-in-law misses you." Luo Jun laughed.

"Ah?" Ailontan was stunned when he heard it, then he said with a bitter face: "It's Aunt Li..."

"What's your attitude?" Luo Jun scolded, "The master is thousands of years old, and you are still not willing to do it?"

"Master, please stop making fun of me..."

"Seriously, come to the rental house tomorrow to replace me, and by the way, research the black market in the middle of the month... This isn't your first time there, so don't just buy nothing, you have to have some cash flow."

After arranging Ailontan, Luo Jun sat in the room and took out a bead.

According to the instructions, the Dingyuan Pearl can absorb dissipated vital energy and transform it into pure energy to assist in cultivation.

Previously in the mission world, Luo Jun collected some energy from near Liu Weiyou’s cage. Later, when he killed the source of the seventh-stage disaster, he absorbed the remaining vitality from the corpse. Although it was far from filling up the Dingyuan Pearl, the transformation had been completed and could be used at any time.

Now Luo Jun is only a few percent away from the seventh level of Peiyuan Realm. This is a good opportunity to see how effective this thing is in assisting his practice.

Luo Jun placed the Ding Yuan Pearl in his palm and began to mobilize his vital energy. He soon felt a pure energy entering his body. This energy had no attributes. Once it entered the meridians, it perfectly merged into his vital energy, directly promoting the compression of his vital energy. The process was extremely smooth and almost unnoticeable.

This function is very powerful, but the effect...

Luo Jun felt it and found that the improvement in progress was almost invisible, very small...

The converted energy is not small. For ordinary practitioners, this energy should be enough to improve their realm by a large margin. However, Luo Jun's energy reserves are thousands of times that of ordinary people, so this amount of energy can only be said to be better than nothing.

It seems that this function is still a bit useless to him...

Luo Jun shook his head in disappointment, then took the Dingyuan Pearl, sat on the bed, and began to practice with his five hearts facing the sky.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Because he had just absorbed the energy of the Dingyuan Pearl, there was almost no hindrance. While concentrating on practicing, Luo Jun unconsciously channeled his vital energy into the Dingyuan Pearl, and then instinctively absorbed it back.

Unlike other treasures, the energy that enters the Dingyuan Pearl does not adhere to it, but is transformed by it like the scattered spiritual energy that is absorbed. And because the energy running in the human body is of very high purity, the transformation process is very smooth and is completed almost instantly.

This makes the Dingyuan Pearl like a water purifier. All of Luo Jun's vital energy that passes through the Dingyuan Pearl will be filtered, and after returning to the body, it will become the purest and easiest to absorb state.

It seems that the total amount of Yuan Qi has not changed, but don't forget that the practice of Pei Yuan Realm is essentially to compress the Yuan Qi. The original approach is to blindly increase the amount of Qi and rely on the meridians to "physically" compress the Yuan Qi. Generally speaking, this process is long and painful.

However, with the Dingyuanzhu converter, the compression process became extremely smooth and the effect was extremely stable. As a result, the speed of cultivation depended entirely on the speed at which Luo Jun accumulated qi.

Of course, Luo Jun relied on his strong bones, and never relaxed his accumulation of vitality, even if his meridians were swollen and painful, but no matter what, the pain still had some impact on his efficiency. Although the Dingyuan Pearl did not improve as much as it did for others, it was still helpful in his hands.

In this way, Luo Jun practiced smoothly all night. When he heard the door open and came to his senses, it was already dawn and the vitality in his body had become much more stable.

At this rate, I will be able to break through to the next level in two or three days!

Luo Jun put away the Dingyuan Pearl with satisfaction, and looked up to see Alontan, wearing the face of "Xiao Liu", entering the house and closing the door, holding a lot of vegetables and meat in his hands. "What is this?"

"I left home early today and went to the morning market to buy some vegetables." Ailontan said with a grin, "Master, please try my cooking!"

As he spoke, Ailontan had already entered the kitchen with a lot of bags and small things. Soon, the sounds of water, cutting vegetables, and the AI ​​dubbing teaching of the short video could be heard at the same time...

Luo Jun came closer out of curiosity. He didn’t know what it was until he saw it. He was shocked.

The high priest was seen standing in the middle of the kitchen, holding a mobile phone in one hand and learning the steps, while the other hand was shining with magic light. The vegetables in the sink were lifted in the air by the movement of the water, and were washed 360 degrees without any dead ends. On the other side, the water in the rice cooker formed a vortex like a washing machine, and was returned to the front and back from time to time to continuously wash the raw rice; on the chopping board, there were two kitchen knives on the chopping board, no one was holding them, but they were quickly cutting meat, chopping onions, and smashing garlic on the board, very skillfully.

Wow, do you need magic to cook this dish?

Under the powerful magic, Alontan prepared the dishes with amazing efficiency and simmered the rice. Then it finally came to the crucial step: putting it in the pot.

This time he finally did it himself. He turned on the stove to heat the pot, added cooking oil into a large spoon, and when the temperature was about right, he added the side dishes.

"Great Master, you should have heard that the essence of Aurora cuisine lies in the heat. The key to the heat is to stir-fry so that the ingredients are heated evenly..." Ailontan held the handle of the pot with a confident look on his face: "Today, I will show you what the ultimate stir-frying technique is!"

After saying that, he didn't move the hand that was holding the pot handle. Instead, he raised his other hand and placed it above the pot. Then, the side dishes in the pot seemed to be scalded and jumped up by themselves!
"It is indeed an ultimate skill..." Luo Jun was amazed.

"It's too early to admire now." Elontan said with a smile: "Look at me throwing fire into the pot!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the gas fire at the bottom of the pot suddenly jumped into the pot by itself, igniting flames on the ingredients that were automatically flipping over!

Just as the fire was about to reach the roof, Alontan waved his hand again, and the flames went out instantly. He turned off the stove, leaving only wisps of smoke and bursts of fragrance.

"Out of the pot!"

After a busy period, Ailontan fried two dishes and served two bowls of rice. Luo Jun took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It tastes pretty good!" Luo Jun took a bite of rice and said, "Old Ai, you don't look like a novice!"

"I loved food when I was alive." Ailontan said as he ate, "But the ingredients and seasonings were not as abundant as they are now, and the taste style was also very different from here... I have to say, Zhendan is really a country of food, with a variety of cooking methods, and cooking every day is also a pleasure."

"Not bad..." Luo Jun took another bite of the dish, then opened the treasure box and took out three beads.

"What is this?" Ailontan looked at the beads, his eyes shining unconsciously.

"Universal equivalent." Luo Jun said while eating, "Complete a Chaos mission before the black market in the middle of the month. When you get to the black market, take this thing to exchange for some treasures, and you can use it openly in the future. If Ling Xin asks, just say you just got it from a mission."

As he spoke, Luo Jun took out several treasures he had obtained this time from the treasure box, wondering which one would be convenient to give to Elontan.

In terms of quality, the ones below rare level are more realistic, but this Generous Badge is a rare charm-type treasure, and Luo Jun always feels that it will be useful. As for the others, they are all epic or even legendary. It is really unreasonable for a novice who has just come into contact with chaos tasks to get such a reward...

While Luo Jun was thinking about it, Alontan's eyes lit up and he picked up the Chaos Card.

"Great Master...what is this?"

Luo Jun glanced at it and said, "This is a legendary treasure I just got... Just like the skull ring, it can also summon helpers. But this thing is not as troublesome as you. That king seems to have a serious illness. He is very dissatisfied..."

"Lucifer has just this kind of temper..." Alontan shook his head, pulled out the cards and took out the king.

"Lucifer?" Luo Jun was stunned: "Whose name is this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the look in Ailontan's eyes when he looked at the big and small kings was full of nostalgia.

Wait... the angel said that the previous master was an emperor. Could it be...

"Have you ever owned this deck of cards?"

Alontan nodded. "But the cards back then were not in the style of these poker cards, but the functions are basically the same, especially the portrait of Lucifer, which is exactly the same as it was back then."

"She's an angel, but she's even more unruly than Lilith..."

Luo Jun's eyes widened when he heard this. He immediately snatched the deck of cards and summoned the dice in his mind. He was about to draw the king when he suddenly remembered the archangel's height of more than three meters and wingspan of more than seven meters. He looked at the house that was only more than two meters high and decided to change the judgment event.

"Draw a Q!"

"Ding, the event difficulty is 93 points, the final point is 83+15 points, the event is successful!"

As the prompt sounded, Luo Jun drew out a spade ring. The card shook and a queen in a black dress with a stern face appeared in the room.

The moment the queen appeared, she bowed to Luo Jun who summoned her, but then she frowned slightly and looked at Ailontan unconsciously.

"Do you feel familiar?" Luo Jun smiled and turned to look at Lao Ai: "Take off the mask."

Ailontan obeyed the order immediately. As he revealed his original slightly fat face, the Spade Queen's eyes gradually widened and revealed an expression of disbelief.

"Master...Master?" After saying that, the queen looked at the current master Luo Jun again.

"Did the Lord give us away?"

"What do you mean by giving someone away?" Ailontan smiled and shook his head: "Now even I am his."

"Stop talking so disgustingly, okay?" Luo Jun glared at Ailontan.

"I'm not wrong..." Ailontan said with a smile: "Now I have to rely on the master's vitality to survive..."

"That's right..." Luo Jun nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said:
"I know! That's it!"
